Australian Masters Games Geelong 2009
As you may know the Australian Masters games are in Geelong in Feb 2009. Feb 20 – March 1 2009. AFL Football is being held for the first time, it is perfect for a pre season run for the boys. There is a 35+ comp and a 45+ comp. There are also 70 other sports that the participants may wish to look at. There will be around 10,000 competitors in Geelong for the week, so it will be a party like atmosphere each and every night.
Games will be held on Skilled Stadium, home of the AFL Geelong Cats on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday (we are trying to get last day changed to Saturday, but the Cats may be home on that day, and will depend on interstate travelers).
The date for registrations have now been extended until Jan 30 th 2009 to allow more AFL teams to enter, we currently have 12.
We have now appointed Jetset Belmont as the NEW Official Travel & Accommodation Provider if needed.
